The Nonsensical Ramblings of a Would-Be Genre Filmmaker

Tentacles and Madness – The New ‘Alice: Madness Returns’ Trailer

Crazy never looked so good in American McGee's "Alice: Madness Returns"

Way back around the turn of the millennium, EA release an interesting little game (by a local Dallas designer) called “American McGee’s Alice.” By all accounts – because even though I’ve had access to the game for year, I have yet to play it – it’s not a bad little bit of dark fantasy gaming.

Nine years later, they’re finally giving the girl another go with the upcoming “Alice: Madness Returns.” This trailer just broke today at the Tokyo Game Show and it gave me chills. To me, this has it all: beautiful art, fire, madness, tentacles. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Dubbed, "TerrorScribe" by a former editor, Joe made the conversion to horror sometime in the mid-2000s. Little did he know he'd favored the genre all of his life. When not struggling with short stories, he provided genre film reviews for local entertainment sites and later genre sites who could suffer his cynical views.

It was that same cynicism - and some might say hubris - that lead him to have a brief flirtation with filmmaking. His first two efforts, "Annotated" and "Antes Que Seja Tarde (Before It's Too Late)" both premiered at a local H.P. Lovecraft film festival. A third short, "Survivor Girl" proved to be his undoing though plans are in the works to revived the cursed project.

Born and raised in Dallas, TX., Joe now resides in a small Texas town. Statistics say more dead bodies turn up in small towns that big cities... though he claims to have NOTHING to do with that.
